Tones From Mission Control

On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner gripped the world, setting three new skydiving records by leaping to the earth from the edge of space. If you somehow missed the event, you can watch the stream of it here: Redbull Stratos Video.

While watching the jump, all we could focus on at RCP were the blips and bleeps going on in the background during communication between Felix and Mission Control. We studied the tone and reconstructed it from scratch. Take a listen to the three variations below and download them free for any smartphone.
